"I wish you died outside, and I hope you and your son will become enemies! But I didn't expect that he would be so calculating!" Tang Huaijin said as he pinched Zhu Beier's neck with one hand, then turned to look at the Emperor, his eyes full of provocation, as if he was blatantly shouting "What can you do to me?"
"Let my daughter go!" The Emperor's face was so gloomy that it seemed like ink was about to drip, and his voice contained endless anger, like a volcano about to erupt.
"Hand over the Overlord Mech, and I'll let her go. Otherwise, she'll surely die!" As he spoke, the mech's arm lifted Zhu Bei'er high into the air. Zhu Bei'er's face flushed crimson, and she desperately pushed Tang Huaijin's arm with both hands, her eyes filled with fear and struggle.
"You are looking for death!" The Emperor roared, like an enraged prehistoric beast, his voice shaking the heaven and earth. His figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.
In an instant, the temple guardians felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. They all held energy weapons in their hands and slowly retreated, with tension written all over their faces.
At the same time, the royal family in the Tiangong Fortress quickly surrounded them with a large number of generals and lords, and instantly engaged in a melee with these protectors. The shouts and sounds of weapons clashing were deafening.
Tang Huaijin, however, lifted Zhu Bei'er in front of him and let the Emperor's terrifying punch fall on her. She remained calm, even showing a smug smile as she looked at the Emperor, as if she was certain that the Emperor would not dare to actually attack her.
Just when the fist was about to hit them, the Emperor suddenly pulled back his hand, but the terrifying air wave still blew Tang Huaijin and the others away like a tide.
"Tang Huaijin!" The Emperor's teeth were chattering, and his murderous intent shattered the atmosphere like a substance, as if he wanted to destroy everything in the world related to Tang Huaijin.
"Does the Emperor really care about me?" Zhu Bei'er cried with tears of happiness. She had been sealed away for eons, her heart always thinking of the Emperor. If it weren't for the struggle for the throne, their relationship wouldn't have been so distant.
"I know that you appear cold-blooded, but you have always cared about her the most! Give me the Dominant Mecha. I only want the Dominant Mecha. Give it to me and I will let her go!" Tang Huaijin stretched out his hand, his smile revealing greed and cunning.
"If I hand over the Dominant Mecha, won't that allow you to force my daughter again?" The Emperor sneered, his smile full of disdain and ridicule towards Tang Huaijin.
As he spoke, he stomped his foot into the air. Suddenly, the ground erupted in a resounding rumble, as if the entire universe were trembling. The dreaded Wan Desire Prison, like a dormant beast, instantly appeared before everyone's eyes.
The entire prison was shrouded in fog, a strange "corrosion fog" hanging in the air. Once a cultivator's spiritual arts were unleashed, they would go astray—arson spells would not only fail to burn the enemy, but would actually burn themselves; earth escape spells would not allow escape, but would instead trap them; even meditation seemed to be a constant supply of energy to the prison.
The more you desire something, the more the prison will use it as bait to trap you.
If you want to escape, the illusion of freedom will appear before your eyes - the light and shadow flicker, as if within reach, but once you reach out and touch it, you will be immersed in it unknowingly, and it will be difficult to break free;
If you want to become stronger, you'll be surrounded by top-tier magical artifacts—those artifacts shimmering with color, exuding an alluring aura, yet reaching out and taking them is surprisingly easy. You think your strength has greatly increased, but you don't realize that in this false satisfaction, you've already become a more loyal prisoner of the prison.
Here, time is unpredictable. Sometimes you feel like only a day has passed, but outside, a century has passed; sometimes you endure a thousand years, only to find only a moment has passed. Those eager for revenge, those concerned with their master, have all been worn down to the point of losing their temper.
Deep within the prison lies a "desireless stone." It's said that anyone who completely abandons their desires can escape through the stone. But for a monk, cultivation is all about seeking, so abandoning desire is no different from death.
This prison has no walls, no guards; your thoughts are the invisible walls; there are no real locks; your obsessions are the shackles that bind you. Yet, this seemingly invisible prison has trapped countless vicious individuals. Even the Devouring Emperor, who feeds on the formation, has been trapped within, unable to break free.
"What are you going to do?" Tang Huaijin felt a strong sense of unease in his heart and asked in a cold voice.
"Don't you want to dominate the mecha? Let my daughter go, otherwise I will throw it into the Wuyu Stone!" The Emperor directly took out a light ball, which contained a golden mecha. The mecha exuded a mysterious and powerful aura.
"Give me the master mecha, or I will really kill her!" Tang Huaijin had a ferocious look on his face. He used force on his hands, pinching Zhu Beier so hard that her breathing became increasingly difficult and her eyes gradually became blurred.
Without saying a word, the Emperor threw the light ball that wrapped the Dominant Mecha into it.
"No!" Tang Huaijin was horrified and shouted hurriedly, "Enyi, Wei Zhaoran, stop them!"
The two elders, who had just returned and hadn't had time to show themselves, rushed out together like two bolts of black lightning. They both extended their giant hands, trying to intercept the Overlord Mecha, but they had seriously underestimated the Emperor's strength. The enveloping light ball, like a meteor, pierced through their outstretched hands and fell directly into the Desireless Stone.
The two elders were injured at the same time, and they looked at the Emperor unwillingly, their eyes full of anger and helplessness.
The Emperor held one hand behind his back, his aura astonishing, like an inviolable deity. A command talisman appeared in his hand again, and he said in a cold voice, "Release them!"
"Wu Yuling! What are you going to do?" Tang Huaijin's eyes widened, his face full of shock and fear.
Enyi, Wei Zhaoran and the others also looked towards the Emperor, their eyes full of confusion and vigilance.
"Say it again, let my daughter go, otherwise I will crush the Desireless Order!" The Emperor had a dignified look on his face, and his voice seemed to carry endless majesty and no room for questioning.
"Give me the Desireless Order, and I'll return Pearl Bei'er to you. Let's exchange now!"
Tang Huaijin was already feeling fearful. Without the Dominant Mecha, they were no match for the Emperor. On the contrary, the Emperor was firmly sitting on the well-deserved first seat in the Spiritual Machinery Immortal Realm. She didn't dare to take another risk.
Anyway, she had already grasped Zhu Bei'er's weakness, so there was no need to worry that she would not obediently hand over the certification ring. Thinking of this, she picked up Zhu Bei'er and pretended to throw her.
"Okay!" The Emperor nodded in response.
Immediately, he threw out the Desireless Order, but not at Tang Huaijin, but directly at the Wanyu Prison.
Seeing this, Tang Huaijin also threw Zhu Bei'er towards Sanyuan Old Guard Zhaoran.
At the moment when Wei Zhaoran caught Zhu Bei'er, Emperor Zun also arrived in time, like a tiger descending from the mountain, fighting with Enyi fiercely.
Entropy brandished the energy sword, trying to resist the Emperor's fierce attack.
However, in the face of the Emperor's overwhelming power, he was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, completely vulnerable. Before he could even withstand three blows, his mecha was deeply dented and he was sent flying with a whoosh.
